Him, Thiel, Musk, Yarvin and all the yes men (e/acc for example) can piss right off. It's just about power based on the idea that they deserve success and power because they are better than anyone else. That there was no random chance. That they have insights no one else has, that they are infallible. "Paperbelt on fire" is a good example of this thinking ("their education sucks, ours is better"). Absolutely not capable of self-critique these people (totally not musk shadow banning people who criticize him). Destroying democracy and our world because they have the self regulation of a ten year old. Everyone of those people really should go to therapy to learn that making money and having power is not the path towards a good life in any way. And it's sad to see people never get out of this groove their entire lives, no matter the money.
I'm wondering if the "old silicon valley" was also just about power and never about making the world a better place. Was it all just a bunch of narcissists with domination fantasies or did anyone actually care at all?
PS: doesn't help that the opposition is a bunch of cat girl avatars with funny pronouns.
